Description
ABSTRACT The nature of peacekeeping has changed since the second half of the 1990s. Specifically, the manner in which peacekeeping operations ate comprised, driven and funded has become embedded in burden-sharing between the United Nations and regional organisations, such as the African Union. Accordingly, hybridisation in African peacekeeping has assumed great significance. In this respect the establishment of UNAMID as a joint United Nations-African Union peacekeeping operation in Darfur (Sudan) is one of the most notable efforts in the field of security co-operation and hybrid arrangements involving both regional and global peacekeeping instruments and resources. This said, questions arise whether these partnerships introduce a new and more promising future for peacekeeping on the African continent, and whether they will provide a more sustainable basis for African peacekeeping endeavours. This article explores the establishment of UNAMID as a hybrid operation to stabilise the war-torn Darfur region of Sudan. As such UNAMID is assessed against the background of the emergence of new co-operative security arrangements in the field of African peacekeeping, and the need to work towards sustainable partnerships between the United Nations and the African Union within the paradigm of burden-sharing and hybridisation.
